My brother's fucking his life up

Since last holidays he's been an absolute nightmare. He hasn't been a full week at school since the start of this year, and when he does go, he usually shows up at 10 and leaves at noon. The school's said that if he doesn't get his shit together he can just pack up and go, but honestly I don't think he'll even bother. Mum threatened not to give him any presents on his 15th birthday, but he didn't care.

Two week holiday finishes tomorrow and over the two weeks he's been home twice, once to try and get money (which he didn't get so he left) and tonight, where I caught him trying to steal money from me. Mum took the phone of him, at which point he cracked the shits, and they've been arguing for half an hour. He'll probably leave any moment now.

Fuck this, fuck everything. I can still remember the start of last year, how he used to come into my room at 12 at night and we'd have all-night 'Heroes' marathons, and laugh at all the awesome and stupid and awesomely stupid stuff on that show. Now, I don't even know him. He smokes, doesn't take showers, and I strongly suspect he's been taking drugs.

Shrinks not helping, they don't know shit. Mum cries herself to sleep every second night. I'm just trying to stop her falling into depression, which happened like 8 years ago and was scary as fuck. Why's he doing this us? What do I do?

"The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed." Albert Einstein

Do have any idea why he's acting that way? Like maybe he's fallen in with the wrong crowd or something? Have you tried talking to him?

He should at least see the effect his behaviour is having on your mum- and realise what he's doing is just plain wrong. Seriously, if he doesn't.... I have no sympathy for him. I just really think you should talk to him. Straight up.

when he does fuck his life up he will come back begging for a second chance and you'll tell him to go fuck himself. tell him that -- if it doesn't slap him in the face right now, it definitely will in the future.

seriously i have no idea. he acts like he doesn't give a fuck about anything but he's definitely got problems. can you think of anything that happened this summer, during the holidays -- when he started to break down? there's surely something behind this but i doubt he'll tell you what.

okay dogar but this era can only get into drugs when it does LOL youre so slow sometimes! and a lot of drugs arent as unhealthy as theyre made out to be. im pretty sure i could name 3 illegal, popular drugs less harmful than energy drinks and coffee!

LSD, ecstasy and cocain are three that are worse then energy drinks and coffee.

No, I know for a fact those are all more dangerous than caffeine, which is in fact a drug as well.

LSD, or acid, makes you get into "trips." Sometimes people can never get out of the "trip" and are brain dead for life. Also, the chemicals of LSD stays in your spinal cord for the rest of your life and if your back cracks or moves in a certain way, those chemicals can trigger a "flash back," that makes you "trip" for about 30 seconds to a few minutes. So, lets say you take a hit of acid when you were 19 or what have you, you know, just to "try it out." Then years and years latter you have a family and you're driving your infant children in a car and then suddenly you have a "flash back," loose control of the car and cause a terrible car crash. Whether the children die is situational, but there is no doubt that one has a potential risk for the rest of their lives to cause a disaster just because they made a silly choice at the age of 19.

Also, using LSD causes a small pinpoint hole in your brain to form and excessive use will indeed cause brain damage. Again, a cup of coffee seems benign when comparing the two.

Ecstasy also causes the same brain destroying effect as LCD and makes holes in that organ as well.

Cocaine is like caffeine but is increasingly more powerful; stimulates in general are very risky to take.

It's not like God is supporting my conservative political views or grammatical misuses. He's just questioning a silly, if not completely stupid statement you stated. You know, he's making you look like an idiot. That's something he does daily regardless if I am in a thread or not.

i guess its a good thing to be likened to somebody who calls you out on it

No actually, my phone is dead and I just woke up from a nap. I donít want to wake up my gf so I'm not on the phone. But Justin, if we were, we'd probably be talking shit on people more important than you. :/
